Bill Clinton

“ Ours is still a relatively young Nation, but even in our brief history, we have seen many other forms of government come and go. We have witnessed the collapse of dictatorial regimes, while our brand of democracy has continued to evolve and flourish. Rather than establishing government control through the deprivation of basic human rights, our founders realized that individual freedom and the right to self-determination are the most powerful sources of national strength. ”

“ Each year, at the height of spring's renewal, Americans take the time to reaffirm our allegiance to our country and to the ideals upon which it was founded. On this "Loyalty Day," we pledge to defend the blessings of American democracy. ”

“ This philosophy forms the bedrock upon which our Nation is built, and we continue to expand and enforce its wise mandate to this very day.
Generations of Americans have demonstrated their loyalty and devotion to this country, many risking their lives for the sake of defending the common good. ”
